What happens when your favorite race track suddenly disappears?

In this episode of the Late to Grid Podcast, we sit down with Christian Robinson from SEMA and PRI’s Government Affairs team to break down one of the most important issues in motorsports today: Right to Race legislation.

If you’re involved in autocross, track days, endurance racing, or grassroots motorsports, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.

We dive into how legislation is actively shaping the future of racing and how local tracks across the country are being threatened by development, lawsuits, and regulatory pressure. Christian shares behind-the-scenes insight into how SEMA and PRI are fighting to protect the $69B motorsports industry and the small businesses that keep it alive.

You’ll also learn:

  • What “Right to Race” actually means (and why it’s simpler than you think)
  • Why grassroots race tracks are disappearing
  • How legislation moves through state government
  • Real examples of laws that almost shut down racing
  • What YOU can do right now to protect your local track

This episode isn’t just about policy, it’s about preserving the motorsports journey for future drivers, teams, and fans.
